Why do people make this facial expression

>>22916970
I've actually figured it out

>>22916970
Pretty sure this guy is knowingly playing into the meme. Still very cringey though.

>>22917025
What is it anon fill us in. Why do they do this?

>>22917052
I want to get the official credit for this scientific breakthrough

>>22916820
This is the guy in the pic

>>22917033
But why Tony Hawks? When I think of soi-core games the likes of TLOU2, Animal Crossing, Star Wars and Avengers comes to mind. Tony Hawks doesn't have that Nintendo or cinematic tick that these guys typically look for.

It's called the "fear grimace", a primal response in primates

>>22917107
Leave AC outta this

>>22917180
See that's completely wrong
That's not why they do it

>>22917180

>>22917227
Unless you care to share, realize nobody believes you

>>22917227
yee they are just showing that they wanna suck some of that good old papi D

It kind of feels anti climactic to reveal such a big discovery in some random /biz/ thread

>>22917291
Now I want to know but you’re being a fag

>>22917291
Lmao true, but we're the realest board around here so it fits.

Okay i will explain were the soiboi open mouth phenomenon comes from
Basically it's mimicry of childhood excitement
When a man child opens up his new nintendo or fx takes a picture outside disneyland or what ever is making the soiboi excited, they will mimick the reaction of a child.
I remember as a kid in the 90s a lot of ads and commercials would have kids get what ever new toy was being sold and they would have that over the top reaction.
Also people who are socially inept often like to mimick an emotion instead of showing it naturally. so they mimick this over the top "wow i'm so excited" face that they would now from their childhood.

Soibois are some of the most dedicated consoomers. It's sort of a ritualistic thing to them to have this super excited reation to consooming

>>22917625
is this why the youtube thumbnails are full of this expression. hmm, think anon delivered.

>>22917556
>>22917625
This actually makes fucking sense. Great work OP.

>>22917068

>>22917709
It's the same generation of consoomers that sits and watches unboxing videos

>>22917795

>>22917291
You're such a self important faggot holy shit

>>22917887
t. socialsciencelet

>>22917556
correct

>>22917291
I'd go and make a screenshot so you can get your praise and worship, but I'm too lazy to do so. But good work anon.

>>22917556
Another important point is that it allows them to claim they were being sarcastic if someone points out how much of a faggot they are

>>22917556
>I remember as a kid in the 90s a lot of ads and commercials would have kids get what ever new toy was being sold and they would have that over the top reaction.
lmao I posted the same thing about a month ago. I don't remember on which board though. It makes the most sense, since the TV cartoon generation seems the most suspect to it. You don't see zoomers doing it, they instead do the thing where they wrinkle up their brow and lift their mouth (kind of like a crossing between the suspicious emoji and the duck face)

>>22917556
>people are so retarded they need this explained

>>22917556
True, maybe autists like "extreme expressions" in a way they like cartoon characters.

>>22918385
It fits with it being people who are old enough to have lived in pre internet era.
When TV was still the dominant medium and when there were stores etc.
In interesting there is also a split in that they stopped putting toys in cerial in the same period

>>22918740
I've seen different autist do this thing were they are mad about something and instead of yelling naturally acted it out.
They said something like "grr i'm really mad".
Like they were mimicking a guy who's mad

>>22917180
what a load of horseshit. i guarantee any of those fags have more friends and live happier lives than 99% of 4chan posters. cope harder delusional retards
